About Wiki Loves Love
editWiki Loves Love is an international photography campaign which aims to document love testimonials across various societies, communities and beyond through the whole world. From monuments to ceremonies, from miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love to tender gestures, let's show to the world how love is expressed everywhere and in various ways.
The 2019 edition was essentially a Wikimedia Commons contest which will attain the valuable media - images and videos about different festivals and wedding ceremonies in cultures around the globe that can later support various Wikimedia projects. It will animate the broader Wikimedia community in improving its coverage on various cultures and new forms of heritage that haven’t otherwise been documented so far.

April 2018
editThis project is in a really early phase of brainstorming and design. Please join the conversation, tell us what you think about it, what you would suggest as next step to achieving a great successful photo contest about love.
Previous Edition
editA first edition was conducted in 2016, as a side project of Wikipedia 15 in Strasbourg. It was smaller in thematic scope, more geographically targeted, and didn't generate much participation. For the next edition, the geographical scope will be larger, it will be clearly be open to international participation and far greater outcomes are expected. Be bold to join in effort to make the next edition a success !

- I support this project because love is essenstial og existential for all life on earth.
- LOVE is a basic need.
- Just like water, sleep and food (in that order) - but first and formest comes love.
- There are several incidents concerning infants/babies, who had been feed, given water when thirsty, keept clean and neet, a bed to sleep in, and a schelter such as a house or a tent.
- BUT without care; human contact such as the very important physical touch from another human in a gentle and caring way; without sentimental and emotional care in touch AND speech - :...the babies died...!
- That is why I, and others who has this knowledge, gladly and with seriousity will support WLL = Wiki Loves Love!!
- PLEASE send this note around to as many people as possible;
- which I guess that The Meta Wiki already is cabable of.
- ( It´s just me who is a bit of a dinosaur on digital medias, - please cut this sentence out of this original message).
- WITH LOVE
